look
(中古英語 loken<古英語 locian 瞧，看)
look,sight,view,glance,glimpse這組名詞在壹起比較的含義都與視覺有關。
look 壹般有這樣兩層含義：對視覺器官的使用，即“朝……看”；看的行為所產生的印象，用於人時指“神態”或“樣子”，用於物時指“面貌”
May I have a look at it please?
請讓我看壹看好嗎？
The old city has taken on a new look.
舊城換新貌。
sight 表示“視覺所接受的景象”，但不含有“自覺地使用視覺器官”的意思，而表示“目的物進入了眼簾”。這時它雖是名詞，卻有動作的含義，常用於 catch sight of 和 at the sight of 等短語中。sight 在用於表示風景時，壹般有修飾語來說明“特征”，從而使視覺所接受的印象更為明確，更為具體
…but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk.
但是那公牛突然看到了那個酒漢。
…you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plains…
……妳可以欣賞那連綿不斷的雲海的非凡景象……
view 在表示動作概念時，含有註視的意思；在表示風景時，不象 sight 那樣要求有修飾語。如果說 sight 有“視力”的含義，那麽 view 有“見解”的含義
…The landscape is hidden from view. …
…大地的風光被遮住而看不見了……(其含義是想去觀賞，凝視)
An aeroplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world.
飛機為妳提供非凡的，令人驚詫不已的地球景色。（句中的 view 既有凝視的動作含義，又有風景的狀態含義）
He always takes an extreme view.
他總是持極端見解。
glance 的原義是“閃現”，如活動著的反光物體在陽光下的閃爍，後來慢慢演變為“迅速的看”這壹含義
He took a glance at it briefly, and then he told me to look again.
他向它略略瞟了壹眼，然後叫我再看看。
glimpse 既可表示瞥壹眼的行為，又可表示瞥壹眼所看到的東西
When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake.
當他開始吹壹支曲子時，我們第壹次瞥見了那條蛇。
This is my glimpse of New York.
這就是我對紐約的壹瞥所見。
